The main theme of the Congressin Vienna will be “Sports activities and orthopaedic practice”. Highlights of the Congress also include, among many others, e-health applications in orthopaedic research, hip trauma and sport, less frequent shoulder sport injuries, treatment of chronic bone infection, shoulder instability management and functional outcomes after UKA and TKA.

The scientific programme would, however, be incomplete without your participation and we sincerely hope that you will attend the Vienna Congress 2017. We also encourage you to submit abstracts, the presentation of which forms a major and important part of the meeting.

We look forward to meeting you in the culturally rich city of Vienna for the 18th EFORT Congress in 2017.
